The funniest part of her visit so far? While she knew I'd used her name for the website, she had no clue how popular it had become. She's still amazed how many people are stopping her in public or e-mailing to thank for her for unknowingly giving them bil-ERI-co. Within a couple hours of her arrival, someone stopped us on the street to ask, "Is this Eri?!" after reading about her visit online.

A few contributors and other friends had a small party in her honor at Mike Rogers' home Saturday night and yesterday was spent just hanging out and eating mostly. (She's the best cook in the world. Try the gyoza.) Today we're off to visit art museums with friends.

You can leave her well wishes on this thread. She's been reading the ones on the other post about her arrival and talking to all the fans; I think she's rather enjoying the minor celebrity. *grins*

Hi Eri, I wish I were there to come and say hello, and get a sample of the gyoza. Ah well, next time. Thank you for encouraging Bil and Jerame and helping them become the world-famous celebrities they are today. :)

Hi Eri -- I'm glad you're enjoying your visit -- too bad it has to be a short one. We all wish we could actually meet the person who inspired the -eri- into Bilerico. Hope you have a safe and altogether enjoyable trip around the U.S. and home again.
